Hi guys, hope ya'll are enjoying a great weekend too!! :D
Anyway just to get us started on this - let me start off by writing what we learnt in last week's tutorial. Please do add on to this if there is anything..
First we touched upon problem solving in mathematics (which is the key and central to pentagon curriculum). We discussed about what makes a good math problem solver. We discussed that a student who is a good math problem solver would be analytical, logical, perseverant, confident and would be able to look at the problem from different perspectives. We learnt two terms - Inductive thinking skills (specific -> general) and deductive thinking skills (general -> specific) which are also critical in solving math problems!!
Few other topics that we discussed over the last week were - 1. Understanding number sets 2. Teaching negative numbers 3. Using algedics and algetiles to teach algebraic manipulations.
